Scottish mountains over 3,000 feet (914.4 m) that count as separate summits, first listed by Sir Hugh Munro in 1891 and now maintained by the Scottish Mountaineering Club. Ben Nevis is the highest, followed by the Cairngorm giants Ben Macdui, Braeriach and Cairn Toul, and the list reaches from Ben Lomond near Glasgow to Ben Hope in the far north and out to the islands of Skye and Mull.
Most Munros are long hill walks over rough, often pathless ground in changeable weather, and remote ones in Knoydart and the Fisherfield Forest take overnight trips. The Cuillin of Skye are scrambles, and the Inaccessible Pinnacle on Sgurr Dearg needs a rope. The club keeps a register of everyone who has finished the lot.
